  1. A lot of the Pantene product's contain wheat protein's Skin irritation is how it affected me, and I have no other allergies to blame it on. It was early in my diagnosis when we discovered where it was coming from...so not sure if there were any other symptoms or not
  2. well it's now June 15th and STILL no reply! and I'm not impressed.
  3. Alrighty, so the day is fastly approaching, and I can
  4. Great, thanks Mosaics I called Kraft and she said it would take 7-10 days to get an answer.... I'm glad, cause that's what I use for my peanut butter cookies
  5. That's my point as well, and when I asked her what she meant, she said on the label it says, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil and she thought that oil contained gluten she knows I use non-hydrogenated oil for deep frying. so she was pointing out what was on the label. I think I'll call them again right now.....
  6. I need someone to clear this up for me once and for all! Is Kraft peanut butter gluten free or not??? I called them, they told me that it is, then my daughter calls and tells me it's not! I re-read the ingredients...what am I missing? Please help!
  7. No wonder I can't move ahead in my life - something is always pulling me back! I don't get it - not only did they miss my diagnosis for 20 years, apparently the "complete" hysterectomy that I had 22 years ago - wasn't complete! They told me they took "everything" out. While doing the tests for the other problems I am dealing with at the moment they...
  8. I spoke with the doctor's secretary twice last week to try to get the results. First time I called her she said I had to go for another test as they needed to see something else. I asked her if there was anything showing on the left side as I spent most of the weekend in bed (last weekend)She said yeah, a lateral blah blah - I missed it. So I called her...

    Dealing...

    Hey, you can complain to me, I will listen - but then you'll need to listen to mine don't beat your self up over this (I have been diagnosed for 3 years) but was sick for over 20! To top it off I can't cook, so to "please everyone else" I just eat what's there. and suffer for it after. But by all means if you'd like to vent...I will listen...
  10. mmmm Bologna not a big fan of wheat bread though, unless it's really really fresh.... haven't found a gluten free bread I like yet

    How Rude!

    The teckie that did my test last sunday told me that the doctor's office would get the results by wednesday....Well wednesday came and went with no call, so Thursday afternoon I call the doctor's office and tell the lady why I'm calling she says she will look into it and call me back.... Friday at noon I still hadn't heard so I called the office again...
  12. That was my favorite comfort food before my diagnosis... and occasionally if I break down
  13. You'd think with the world so advanced in technology, someone would take the time to make that stuff Telebrix taste better. Would it be that hard? Seriously, I don't know! The CTscan was nothing like I expected. I had an 11 am appointment, I wasn't allowed to eat 4 hours before the test so at 6 am - I was sleeping anyway Then at 9 am I had to mix the...
  14. So I am going for a CT SCAN on Sunday.....Sunday? of a long weekend... Well I never It apparently is better than the ultrasound I was supposed to be setup for. Never had one before so it should be interesting. I have another issue going on in my life, a pretty big one - which may take time to work through! There was an incident where my father is...
  15. So I went to the doctors/surgeon's office today...and I have to have surgery to repair an insitional hernia I got when I had the last surgery to remove part of my bowel. which came about in the first place when they discovered I had celiac disease... the irony of it all... Now keep in mind, I have been sick and undiagnosed for 20 years, so imagine.....
  16. I am very pleased with myself, it's been 4 days and I haven't cheated! Don't get me wrong, I haven't learned to cook or anything simple like that! But I've been working and I never really had the chance to cheat, BUT I didn't cheat cause I managed to eat only 1 meal a day! It was always dinner and even though it was pretty much the same thing twice...
  17. [quote name='Mosaics' date='Mar 20 2007, 01:21 PM']I was diagnosed about three years ago...I think. It's hard to keep track of time. I didn't really have many symptoms and was just lucky to find out it ran in my family. The people in my family that we know of that have celiac disease for sure are: me, my two children, my mother, my oldest brother...
  18. [quote name='Mosaics' date='Mar 20 2007, 06:19 AM']Oh, I'm sorry about your dad. That must have been a shock for all of you. I asked because I was wondering if it was celiac related...obviously it was not. My father died suddenly, too, when I was 12 and he was 36. He was accidentally electrocuted.[/quote] I'm sorry to hear about your...
  19. [quote name='Mosaics' date='Mar 19 2007, 06:30 PM']I meant just a cooking class in general. It wouldn't have to be a gluten-free class, just a class to learn how to cook. If you are only looking for things that say "wheat" or "gluten" on food labels, then you are missing a lot. You're probably still getting gluten in your diet. Look at the site below...
  20. He died of a sudden heart attack - he and my mom were out with my sister and her daughter, they were at a ski resort chalet having lunch, they went for a walk down the hill, when they got to the bottom - he touched my mom's shoulder and just fell over and died instantly. He was 75 never been sick - no heart disease or any serious illnesses....this was...
  21. Cooking classes for glutenfree cooking aren't a ready supply! and least not in my small community - I would have to travel over an hour (driving)oneway to where the classes probably are. Even the celiac meetings are there...far! (car not always available) I am the only one in my family (in Canada) who has been diagnosed I'm 42...and I have eaten whatever...
  22. Everyday it's the same battle - "what do I or don't I" eat? I don't want to sound like a wimp or anything but this sucks! 3 years and I can't figure it out! I have alot more information available to me now but it's got to be simple I can't say that enough! I don't want to make 3 course meals with fancy schmancey food and sauces. I want a fast great tasting...
  23. After re-reading my posts I can see I definetly need help...so I went on a little search - that turned into a big search and confused the hell out of me! I thought I knew nothing before - I am now convinced of it! There are words I have never even heard of, words I cannot pronounce..... :eek: I had a guest come into the motel where I work and she told...
  24. I would rather starve for 2 days than eat some of the stuff I can cook I am sooooo sick of rice - I haven't made it right yet! I can go for a couple of days when my willpower is in gear, I won't cheat, I'll just wait till I'm finally hungry enough and I'll make fish and veggies and of course RICE! But when I have brain fog and I just don't care,...
